If something happens, we'd know pretty quickly (although I suppose, there is no reason a team couldn't make a trade at a later date (as long we liked who they selected).

Especially, lets say the Bulls like Dunn and the Celtics take him, then they could work it out through the draft. Happens in NBA at times.

I also want the Bulls to take Brice Johnson later. Big Tar Heels fan. Love that kid.

@ianbegley Heard one deal that was offered to Chicago for Jimmy Butler included Minnesota's No. 5 pick and Zach LaVine.

Lavine is a very intriguing talent, but what do we do @ 5. I still don't think it is enough. We need a star and I don't know that we are getting that, again. Wiggins and LaVine and you got something.

Sources: Boston is engaged with the Bulls and Sixers as Celtics inch closer to going on the clock at No. 3, league sources said.

Bulls have held advanced discussions w/ Celtics centered on Jimmy Butler and No. 3 pick. Bulls love Kris Dunn. But Bulls don't love Cs offer

I think when push comes to shove, Boston ends up getting it done. There is my prediction.

I agree. I was hoping they'd do Wiggins and 5

Err...s***, hadn't even seen the KC stuff. I think at some point, Boston kicks in next years pick and things end up working out.

Kind of feels like the celts butler trade will happen

I want #3 and Okafor or #3 and next year's pick for Butler and whatever the heck else (if I'm doing this). That said, if we do this, get ready to be pretty bad. Staying with Butler and seeing if you can get quality PG play and eventually make a FA run isn't necessarily a bad thing. All of this comes down to how the Bulls grade out whomever they'd take @ #3. I just think Ainge is the type of guy that ultimately gets deals done, meaning, he isn't going to get hung up at the end of the day and will be willing to strengthen the terms.

Agree. He usually gets his guy. He wants Jimmy badly.

Crowder, Smart, #3, and Brooklyn's pick next year for Butler and I'll drive Jimmy to the airport.

I have 0 faith in this organization and landing a top FA.

Welp...no deal with Boston. Butler is staying put (don't think we think highly of Jaylon Brown), unless the Lakers do something after the fact or Twolves do it.

If Butler was traded, would you prefer Dunn/Wiggins or Russell/Ingram as two possible trade packages?

Either, but selfishly I like Russell, then we can pick up Sullinger and Turner and just start wearing Scarlet and Gray

I'm ok with that. We'll see

I have 0 faith in this organization period.

 

Fixed.

Fixed.

Same thing applies with this team and the Sox.

I like this draft a lot better than most. Really think Hield-Murray-Dunn will be perennial all stars. Would absolutely love any of them.

 

Brown goes #3. Big shocker there.

So much on twitter about the bulls and sixers possibly trying to trade to 5 for Dunn

Bet they could have gotten the 5 if Dunn wasn't there. I'm sure Thibs absolutely loves Dunn given his amazing defense.

Apparently they turned down Levine and Dunn for Jimmy. Wow.

 

E: They as in Minnesota

I'm fine with keeping butler. Deal had to be right.

Someone from 2-10 will probably be good, I just wouldn't want to bet which guy. I definitely wouldn't pick Brown. I think 3rd year for his potential breakout at best, right about when he stops being cheap.

 

Edit: meant 3-10. Simmons could be great and I think Ingram is at least solid.
